Itemised interior painting example

Each amount is its quantity multiplied by its AUD unit rate, rounded to cents. These 6 entries match the fixture used to make the PDF. Metric surface and length units describe the priced work, not a conversion rule for another property.

Interior painting example — AUD Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |

Floor and furniture protection | 1 job | A$210.00 | A$210.00 |

Minor wall preparation | 5 hours | A$63.00 | A$315.00 |

Wall coating materials allowance | 1 job | A$336.00 | A$336.00 |

Two-coat wall painting labour | 83.61 m² | A$19.00 | A$1,588.59 |

Skirting board preparation and painting | 36.58 m | A$9.00 | A$329.22 |

Cleanup and touch-up visit | 1 job | A$154.00 | A$154.00 |

Subtotal / example total | A$2,932.81 |

Calculation check: 5 hours × A$63.00 = A$315.00; 83.61 m² × A$19.00 = A$1,588.59. The demonstration tax field is 0%, so the displayed total stays A$2,932.81. Determine tax and markup for your own work instead of using this input as guidance.

Assumptions and scope boundaries

Minor filling, sanding, stain treatment and damaged plasterboard are not interchangeable tasks. This example includes minor nail-hole filling only. Price larger repairs separately and photograph the existing condition for your own estimating record.

Outside this example: No ceiling coating, door painting, wallpaper removal, major plasterboard repair or hazardous-material remediation.

Selections, access or concealed conditions that differ from this scope require a revised quantity, allowance or separate line. The example deliberately separates them so the client can see what has and has not been priced.

Common questions about interior painting

Do I use floor area for an interior painting estimate?

Use the area of the surfaces you will paint. Floor area can describe a room but should not silently replace measured wall or ceiling area in an itemized estimate.

How do I show paint and labour?

Separate a defined materials allowance from preparation and application labour, or describe clearly what a combined line includes. Avoid charging for materials twice.
